Chapter 13.5, Problem 2CE

To determine

To find: the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment

Answer to Problem 2CE

The coordinate of the midpoint is $\left(2,\frac{7}{2}\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are $\left(0,4\right)\&\left(4,3\right)$

Calculation:

The coordinate of the midpoint

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{4+3}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{4}{2},\frac{7}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(2,\frac{7}{2}\right)\end{array}$
